CNL-605 Topic 6 Case Study: Rebecca

Rebecca is a 15-year-old Caucasian patient brought to your office for counseling by her mother. The intake documentation identifies ongoing struggles with anxiety and depression. Your initial impression is that Rebecca is a shy teenager, very much into the Goth culture. Her hair is dyed pitch black, she wears thick black mascara and eyeliner; in spite of the hot Arizona weather, she wears a long-sleeved black shirt, black jeans, and high black camo boots. Her fingernail polish is also black: all contrasting her very white skin tone. Her mother does most of the talking; Rebecca avoids eye contact and presents disengaged.

Rebecca’s mom reports that the reason they sought your services today was because “she cut again.” Her mom grabs her arm; reluctantly Rebecca pulls her sleeves up to reveal several fresh superficial scars but also multiple older scars, which span from her wrists to her elbow joints. The nonsuicidal self-injurious behaviors began approximately 2 years ago, a difficult time for Rebecca when they moved across the country for the fourth time since she started school. Rebecca explains that her dad is in the military and they move a lot. She reports that she was bullied a lot by her new peers in seventh grade and that, at that time, a girl at school taught her about cutting. In addition to being bullied, peer pressure among the teenage girls became difficult to cope with. Some of the boys in her class were interested in her but the more dominant, established girls brought about some serious competition. They constantly found ways to prank her or to comment on her looks or weight. The same girlfriend taught her to count calories, exercise a lot, how to use laxatives, and how to purge after a large meal. She worries a lot about her weight, grades, and her looks, and about not being liked or loved by anyone. At times, she tried cannabis and drinking alcohol to alleviate her stress—but this is rare, as her parents monitor her closely. Cutting is easier to hide…and cheaper. She insists that she has never considered taking her own life, explaining that when she cuts, the pain “outside” alleviates her pain “inside.”

Why Is It Important For Counselors And Other Behavioral Health Professionals To Become Familiar With The Use Of The Diagnostic And Statistical Manual Of Mental Disorders (DSM)?

Why is it important for counselors and other behavioral health professionals to become familiar with the use of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)? How can use of the DSM’s cross-cutting symptom measures aid counselors in clinical diagnosing?

Define The Following Assessments And Provide An Example When Each Should Be Used

Define the following assessments and provide an example when each should be used:

  1. Forensic assessment
  2. Therapeutic assessment
  3. Psychological assessment
  4. Personality assessment

Min 150 words with 1 intent citation

Write A 750-1,000-Word Paper About Your Selected Diagnosis.

Select a diagnosis from the following:

  • PTSD
  • Anorexia Nervosa
  • Schizophrenia
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Insomnia
  • Other type of diagnosis with instructor approval

Write a 750-1,000-word paper about your selected diagnosis. Use headings and include the following in your paper:

  • A brief summary of the chosen disorder that includes symptoms, prevalence, development, and course according to the most recent version of the DSM.
  • An explanation of the types of tools that would be used in order to make a diagnosis of the disorder. One tool described should be the DSM‘s cross-cutting symptom measure.
  • A minimum of two recommended psychological tests that could be used for the selected diagnosis.
  • For each of the tests listed, include an explanation if the test is considered reliable and valid (use the Mental Measurements Yearbook in the GCU Online Library for this information). The Mental Measurements Yearbook can be found by navigating to the Mental Measurements Yearbook link, then scrolling to the Mental Measurements Yearbook with Tests in Print.
  • Would a personality assessment be an appropriate tool for diagnosis? Why or why not?
  • Additional information about each test to include the price, length of time to administer, and any other relevant information.

Include at least three scholarly references in addition to the textbook in your paper.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Attitude Adjustment

An attitude is an evaluative reaction (i.e., feelings), often based on belief and demonstrated through behavior. In this discussion, we will consider intergroup attitudes by examining stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination.

To inform your thinking on this topic, begin by reading “Toward a Relevant Psychology of Prejudice, Stereotyping, and Discrimination: Linking Science and Practice to Develop Interventions that Work in Community Settings” (Acevedo-Polakovich, Beck, Hawks, & Ogdie, 2016), “Intergroup Contact Theory” (Pettigrew, 1998), and “Summary and Conclusions” (Sherif, Harvey, Hood, Sherif, & White, 1988).

Then, select a group.  Possible dimensions from which you may select your group include, but are not limited to:  race, gender, social class, nationality, sexual identity, (dis)ability, rural versus urban status, religious belief, incarceration/criminal history, occupational status, victim, military status, and so on.  Provide a brief summary of the group and concrete examples to illustrate.  Summarize social psychological theory and research relevant to the experiences of members of this target group (e.g., What are the origins of prejudice toward this group? What are the influences on members of this group? etc.), and explain practical, original, and specific strategies for enhancing intergroup relations.

Your initial post should be 500-1000 words in length and must contain a minimum of three scholarly, peer-reviewed references, in addition to required course resources as applicable.  Additional credible references are encouraged.

Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your classmates by Day 5 to stimulate more meaningful and interactive discourse in the discussion forum. In addition, respond to classmates (and/or the instructor, if applicable) who replied to your initial post by Day 7.  Your responses must demonstrate a sophisticated understanding or application of the concepts covered in Week 2.

At least two of your responses should be a minimum of 150 words each.

The following general suggestions may be useful as you craft your replies:

  • Ask clarifying or thought provoking questions.
  • Provide personal or professional examples that further illustrate relevant social psychological concepts identified in your classmate’s post.
  • Supply additional information that might influence your classmate’s interpretation. For example, recommend resources that further support their position or identify possible alternative explanations.
  • Relate the content in your classmate’s post to that of your own or another classmate’s initial contribution to this discussion.

The capital B represents the dominant allele, and the lowercase b represents the recessive allele. In the example of the cleft chin, where B is cleft chin (dominant allele), wherever a pair contains the dominant allele, B, you can expect a cleft chin phenotype. You can expect a smooth chin phenotype only when there are two copies of the recessive allele, bb.

Behavioral Health Accreditation Standards

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, review the 2007 Guide to Joint Commission Behavioral Health Care Accreditation (Links to an external site.) pdf. You will see that there are categories of areas that the organization looks at that are listed in this document. For example, in previous years, these categories have been: Quality Management and Improvement (QI), Coordination of Care (CC), Utilization Management (UM), Credentialing and Recredentialing (CR), and Members’ Rights and Responsibilities (RR). For your discussion, please pick one item from each of the updated standards listed in the linked document that you think is the most important item in that category, and briefly explain why you feel that it is so important. As you do this, consider what a consumer of your services might think about accreditation — does it make a difference to your consumers?

When you discuss the outcomes, refer to any specific standards that you may be currently using or considering. Feel free to add relevant examples, share relevant resources you have found (articles, videos, podcasts, infographics, quotes), share your relevant personal observations or experiences, and/or offer a short scenario as a realistic application of the concept.

Please provide an initial substantive answer between 300-400 words in length.

 

Introduction: Accreditation Bodies and Quality Management

 

Similar to the regulatory compliance landscape, private accreditation for behavioral health organizations is a complex and extensive process. There are three major private accreditation organizations in the United States that certify behavioral health organizations at different levels: The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Due to the complexity of this process, we will focus on the NCQA MBHO accreditation requirements here.
